HTML 5 SVG

SVG is a standard for drawing
shapes in browsers. However, SVG is at a fundamentally higher level because
each drawn shape is remembered as an object in a scene graph or DOM, which is
subsequently rendered to a bit map. This means that if attributes of an SVG
object are changed, the browser can automatically re-render the scene.

SVG images are represented in
XML, and complex scenes can be created and maintained with XML editing tools
